ズボン

Japanese

Etymology

Borrowed from French jupon (“petticoat, underskirt”),[1][2][3] from French jupe (“skirt”), from old Italian jupa, from Arabic جُوبَّة‎ (jūbba, “long garment”).

Note that the meaning has changed from “underskirt” to “trousers/pants”, and the second consonant has changed from /p/ to /b/, possibly influenced by native Japanese onomatopoeia ずぼん (zubon), describing the action of something sliding into place, as when one puts on or takes off trousers.

Pronunciation

(Tokyo) ズボン [zùbóꜜǹ] (Nakadaka – [2])[3][2]
(Tokyo) ズボン [zúꜜbòǹ] (Atamadaka – [1])[3][2]
IPA^(key): [d͡zɨᵝbõ̞ɴ]

Noun
